7 3 Catalase is an enzyme which breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. 2 H2O2 2 H2O + O2
For Examiner's Use
By using small pieces of filter paper soaked in a solution of catalase, it is possible to measure the enzyme activity. The pieces are placed in a solution of diluted hydrogen peroxide in a test-tube. The filter paper rises to the surface as oxygen bubbles are produced. The time taken for these pieces of filter paper to rise to the surface indicates the activity of catalase.

Fig. 3.1 An experiment was carried out to find the effect of pH on the activity of catalase. Five test-tubes were set up as shown in Fig. 3.1, each with a different pH. The same volume and concentration of hydrogen peroxide was used in each test-tube. Table 3.1 on page 8 shows the results obtained for the experiment as described.
